Hello,
The information in your question is vague. Please see the links in the comment and answer for this post for possible help → How do I print an envelope?
There are many more posts on this site regarding envelopes - search print envelope.
There is the Insert - Envelope menu item.
This will insert a special envelope page, and create frames for envelope content.
There is the manual way
- Copy the address to clipboard (select, then
ctrl+C) - Open a new blank document for your envelope (
ctrl+N) - Set the new document to an envelope page size
- Menu selection
Format-Page - select
Pagetab - In the
Formatfield, select the envelope size you are going to use - Move the insertion point to where the address should be, by
- Repeatedly press enter, or…
- Set margins, or…
- Insert a frame, drag it in place and select it for insertion (press Enter)
- Paste the address you copied in the first step
Writer does not have any automatic features to identify your address and select correct envelope size, so this is a manual procedure. If you do this frequently/in large volumes (mailmerge procedure), you may be better off to create a template where the envelope and letter pages are in the same document, and content of one “address container” is automatically copied to another. For a single instance, the above procedure is simpler and more intuitive.
There is the actual print procedure
When the printer is instructed to print the envelope, it needs to change paper type. If you don’t have a separate envelope feeder, you should receive instruction from printer front panel (or onscreen messages) about feeding envelope manually.
Note that envelope formats are not handled reliably by all printers.
- There is a minimum sheet size. If you feed an envelope which is smaller than that, you risk that it stops somewhere in the paper path.
- Envelopes have flaps, which may catch in the feed mechanism.
